Gary Started Building The Ark Today....

Raced through chores, took a shower and drove to Batavia for a dentist appointment.

Got back to the farm around 10:30, and needed to be at Judy's by 11:15.

On the way, I picked up a tee shirt for a friend and dropped it off at her house, getting where I needed to be on time.

There is an election going on in the village on June 16th. Only village residents can vote, and since we live in the Town of Sweden...we can't. I know this candidate, very strong and community minded. It will be awhile before our signs start going up. The election is not until November.

Sally was treating Judy and me to lunch in Medina.

Her favorite restaurant is Zambistro, and we were very happy to go there.

It's just a small place but it feels great.

We started off with 3 soup samples.

Chicken, Onion and Mushroom.

All were delicious.

Ordered a chicken salad wrap...

a salmon salad

sweet potato fries

and a black and blue salad.

Big yum!

When we left, it was pouring.

Half an hour later, as we arrived in Brockport, it started getting crazier with thunder and lightning and I still needed to get a haircut. Called Gary and he could not get the horses to go in the barn.

Fortunately all was well when I got back to the farm and within half an hour the sun came out.

Went out to check on the girls....

How do you like my outdoor arena?

Rolling was on the agenda.

In between raindrops, Gary finished cleaning out the gardens in the back yard and added mulch. A major improvement. Now if that grass would just fill in.

Painting the fence is in the near future. I'm sure Phoebe and Gucci will appreciate it. Having this fenced in area is the way to go when you have dogs. I just need to open the back door in the kitchen and they can hang out on the back porch. At chore time, they go with me to the barn.

I am a retired art teacher who has always had a passion for horses. We live on a farm and currently care for 4 horses, 2 dogs and 3 cats.
My husband and I are both very active as volunteers in our community and have enjoyed living here for over 40 years.
This Journal has opened up my world.
It was started on February 22nd, 2008 and has taken me to so many places.
What a way to travel!

A Navajo quote to Woof Whinny Whisper

FROM GREY HORSE MATTERS...

If you bury him in this spot,the secret of which you must already have,he will come to you when you call;come to you over the far, dim pastures of death.

And though you ride other living horses through life,they shall not shy at him, nor resent his coming,For he is yours, and he belongs there.

People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grassbent by his footfall,who hear no nicker pitched too fine for insensitive ears.People who may never really love a horse.

Smile at them then, for you shall know somethingthat is hidden from themand which is well worth the knowingThe one place to bury a horse is in the heart of his master.

Thank you, Grey Horse Matters.

Elvira

Somewhere in time's own spaceThere must be some sweet pastured placeWhere creeks sing on and tall trees growSome paradise where horses go,For by the love that guides my penI know great horses live again.~Stanley Harrison
